Registration Information for the Small Business Growth and Planning Series (Small Business GPS)

Small Business Growth and Planning Series (Small Business GPS) is designed to provide participants the information and resources to write a business plan. Someone taking all three clusters will have all the resources to write a business plan. Three clusters of three classes each will be offered quarterly.

People can pick and choose any or all of the clusters. For example, someone may have a marketing background, so they may choose to only take the Business Basics and Financial Awareness Clusters.

Note: people can pick and choose only clusters, not classes. Registrants need to take all three classes in a cluster. A cluster costs and consists of 3 classes.
